Zamora Trial Set for March 2027 | Fargo News

Valerie Zamora, the mother accused in the fatal bludgeoning of her 20-month-old son Jose in Moorhead, Minnesota, is now set to stand trial — with a tentative two-week window opening March 1, 2027. The case, which shocked the community after Jose’s death in May 2025 and was confirmed as homicide by autopsy, has taken a new turn as Zamora’s defense brings in Salt Lake City forensic pathologist Dr. Erik Christensen to challenge the prosecution’s findings. But questions are already mounting over his qualifications, prompting a critical January 12, 2027 hearing to resolve disputes before trial. With legal maneuvering underway, this high-stakes case continues to unfold — and the expert witness showdown could shape its outcome.
